My Foray into My Midwestern Roots

What’s in Your Christmas Stocking?

Roma Goul – cousin of my grandfather, Glen R. Johnson. I would stuff the stocking of a Goul relative in hopes that they would be able to give me more information on this woman. She was obviously a part of my grandfather’s life since he had her picture in his possession.

Roma D. Goul was born in 1904 in Mechanicsburg, Champaign County, Ohio to William Harry Goul and Ada Josephine McAdams. She had four sisters – Geraldine (b. 1901), Vaughna C. (b. about 1908), Verna (b. between 1909-1910) and Dora (b. 1 Oct. 1910 and d. 22 Dec. 1910). Her parents were married in 1899 in Champaign County, Ohio.
